 ON THE WEB: A SENSE OF SCALE How big is an inch, compared to a yard? Can you visualize that difference? What about smaller measurements - how can you compare the size of a grain of sand, with the size of a human hair? Or larger measurements - the height of mount Everest, with the depth of the Earth's crust? The distance between New York and Los Angeles, and the diameter of Titan? The web site A Sense of Scale provides a visual aid that shows you how these different measurements relate to each other. From the very smallest - the Planck length - to the very largest - the distance to the farthest known object in the universe - this web site gives you a sense of proportion. |
